This cost me some lives last night...just wouldn't lock, the two of us out in the open and not that far from each other...i kept letting go and trying to lock again and again but it just wouldn't...happened on a few rare occasions...

If a character is using free aim, the people who try to shoot them get free aim also.

You just ran into someone using free aim.

How do you turn on free aim?

You can just hold down the trigger halfway and have free aim - you're never forced to auto aim.

If you want to join the lobbies/deathmatches etc with forced free aim - then go back to single player, go to your controller options, and set it to "Free Aim". When you rejoin GTAO it'll put (and keep you) in free aim servers.

Downside is if you let the game switch it later, so you can join some friends in another lobby type, it'll put it back and you have to repeat the process afterwards (or join a friend in a free aim game to get the game to switch it back for you).

How do you turn on free aim?

leave online, enter single player, load single player game, go to options, turn on free aim, return to multiplayer, get stuck in cloud bug, get booted back to single player, load multiplayer, realize it didn't save, go back to single player, go to options, turn on free aim, return to multiplayer, get placed in empty server.

Lol at all you people saying it got you killed. Do you suck so bad that if it doesnt auto lock on you just cant do sh*t?

pathetic.

No ya f*cking goon, its just that its unexpected and meanwhile the other player has locked on successfully and has killed you before you even have time to think - oh sh*t, its not locking, better start combat rolling and get ready to free aim this fu....ah sh*t, he got me.
